Mobile Thing 2 - mobile device tips for my iPod gen. 4

I was looking forward to this starting 'thing'- a chance to learn even more about my iPod touch.

First lesson: I have generation 4 ipod.

Second, since this device is often used by kids (teens), most of the tips/tricks videos I found on youtube were produced by young people. A talented bunch, but after a while, they all covered mostly the same information. And some were informing me how to lock my device so I can let friends play games, but not access my private info.

I think the most useful thing that I learned was how to lock the orientation of my screen - particularly helpful when reading of writing while in bed. There is a button that appears at the bottom of my screen when I double-click the home button.

I also learned some tips to save battery life by closing 'open' icons at the bottom of the screen, and how to take a screen shot.

I learned that I can add a Kindle app, so that I can read the book that I am reading on my Kindle, even if I don't have my Kindle with me!

I have had this iPod for 1.5 years, and I love it! I already check my home email and Facebook regularly, can read online news, check weather, maps, look up info on the Internet, and post blogs.

When I don't have wifi, I can still read the book I have loaded, take and review photos, compose my blog, and refresh with a low-key game.

Thanks to this first 'thing', I am now just a bit more efficient with this amazing little smart non-phone.
